WinXP taskbar height...yet again

I know about the windowboundingrect. But what I want to do is to get the
'default' windowBoundingRect, not the one imposed on me by the IDE. IOW, I
want to 'reset' the windowBoundingRect.

I've searched and found Ken Ray's:

function TitleBarHeight
  get queryRegistry("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\desktop\WindowMetrics\CaptionHeight")
  if it is not empty and isNumber(it) then
    put round(it / -15) into tHeight
    return tHeight
  end if
end TitleBarHeight

but, sadly, this isn't reliable. It doesn't take into account double row
taskbars or unlocked taskbars, etc..

Any other ideas?

thx,
